Does anyone know where I can get windshields for my 1973 pressuized Skymaster - other than Cessna that is?
Thanks!

If I may add to the prior suggestion of doing a "Search" for a topic, in this case you will get the supplier's name plus important additional information about installing your windshield. Like what it should cost, how long it takes, tips to make the installation easier, likely problems (and how to solve them), etc.

JCH,
Thanks for the info! Where did you get a new windshield for $750? I learned today that I am able to get a new, one piece windshield, from Cessna for $1,300 +-, which I don't think is unreasonable. I will going that way unless I can find where you got the one piece for approx. $750.
Again, thanks for your help.

When I replaced mine, the only available source for *pressurized* windshields was Cessna. Non-P glass is available from a number of sources.

Thanks Kevin! I am purchasing the Cessna one piece - keeps the center post, but changes both sides.
